America Has Finally Decided Who Won The Fox News Debate – It’s A Landslide Victory

Although the mud that flew in the Republican presidential debate Thursday made it, at times, difficult to see clearly, the American people have decided who won the jab-fest.

An Independent Journal Review poll conducted by Google Consumer Surveys shows that Donald Trump won the debate according to 38.8 percent of those responding, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich second at 28.6 percent followed by Sen. Ted Cruz at 20.8 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio at 11.8 percent.

“Once again, Donald Trump took heat from every direction. Once again, he gave his supporters exactly what they were looking for,” wrote Jonathan Easley on The Hill. “Trump dispatched of Mitt Romney, with an added dig at the 2012 GOP nominee’s tanned skin. He ‘totally’ disavowed the Ku Klux Klan, a controversy that has yet to hurt him.

“Trump boasted about the size of his manhood, a declaration that will spin on an endless loop until the sun explodes,” Easley added.

“Trump is too quick on his feet for his rivals to land any serious blows, and he never seems to be hurt by changing or explaining away past positions that would be problematic for anyone else,” Easley concluded. “It was vintage Trump, and the night may have ended prophetically for him. All of the Republican candidates on stage vowed to support him if he’s the party’s nominee.”

Rubio was named the biggest loser of the night by 42.3 percent of the poll’s respondents.

“Rubio never got the chance to make an affirmative argument for his candidacy. Or, more accurately, he never took the chance to do so,” wrote Dylan Matthews on Vox. “Rubio was dead before tonight, and the debate mostly served to remind the public why.”
